WEBER MASCHINENBAU AND WIPOTEC EXPAND
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Ever since 1993, Weber
Maschinenbau GmbH and
Wipotec Group have been working
together very closely in the
area of weighing and scanning
technology. Where the focus of
these inspection features so far
has been on their use in slicers
for the production of meats
cheeses, both globally successful
companies have now intensified
their strategic partnership and
are expanding into quality control
of the final packaged goods.
With the development of its own
packaging machine technology,
Weber meets a key demand of
today’s marketplace and has
established itself even more
strongly as a reliable and strong
solutions provider. After all,
it is the central goal to make
customers‘ lives easier. This
works especially well thanks to
a deployment of complete and
comprehensive solutions from
product setup to quality-checked
packaging „Expanding our portfolio
with well-established equipment
from Wipotec for an optimized
quality check of our packaging
– including process steps like
weighing control, checks for
foreign objects as well as optical
control of all packages – means
an optimal completion to our
full-system solutions“, explains
Jörg Schmeiser, Chief Technology
Officer of the Weber Group.
„This expansion of our strategic
cooperation is ideal to meet
the demands of our customers
and provides an opportunity
for even more advanced and
stronger solutions in the area of
slicing applications and in the
automation and packaging of
fresh products.“
The decision to expand this
cooperation with a partner of
so many years is rooted very
strongly in the core values of
both owner-managed family
businesses. Furthermore, it mirrors
the commitment to true partnership
that is felt by benefitting customers
as well.
